Description

Across the globe, islands are on the frontlines of climate change—and on the cutting edge of climate solutions. This session explores how island nations can harness renewable energy, industrial symbiosis, and cutting-edge technologies like Power-to-X to build circular economies that are clean, self-sufficient, and future-ready. Drawing on his experience leading GreenLab—Denmark’s pioneering green industrial park and global innovation hub—Christopher Sorensen will share practical strategies for how islands can leapfrog traditional development models. From producing green hydrogen to rethinking infrastructure and value chains, this conversation will examine how the right ecosystem of technology, policy, and partnerships can turn islands into beacons of sustainable prosperity.
